Chuck Bishop just sent me his preliminary research on my gun. I am not sure if you read it, but in my "introduction" post I mentioned that my Parker was brought home from Japan at the end of WWII by my father. Sure enough Mr. Bishop found the word "Yokohama" in the Parker order book. Apparently my Parker was part of a larger order shipped to Japan on March 14, 1918 that included "5 GH's with Damascus barrels, 3 PH guns with Parker Steel barrels, and 2 VH's". That little bit of information just made my day - I highly recommend ordering the Research Letter.
